Ronald I. Heller
Finance �irector December 23, 1999
To the Honorable Chairman, '
Members of the Bangor City Council, and
Citizens of Bangor:
Enclosed herewith are the City of Bangor's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999. In our ongoing efforts to provide greater and more meaningful information to the
people of Bangor,yourselves,and other interested parties,we have assembled this Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, or CAFR, the core of which is formed by the City's audited financial
statements. As always,we intend that this document give the financial statements more depth, aid
in their interpretation, and help the reader identify the issues inherent in the City's financial
operations.
Responsibility far the accuracy, completeness and fairness of the data and its presentation rests
solely with the City of Bangor and,more specifically,with the City's Finance Director and Deputy
Director. To the best of our knowledge and belief, this data, its presentation and the context in
which it is presented is accurate in all material respects.
This CAFR is presented in three sections:
■ The Introductory Section, of which this letter of transmittal is a part, is intended as
an overview of the document as a whole. It principally consists of a narrative report
on the City's audited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, and
contains other general information about the City.
■ The Financial Section is composed of the City's audited general purpose financiai
statements, including all notes and schedules for the General Fund, the eight
enterprise funds,the various special revenue and fiduciary funds and the two major
account groups. This information has been prepazed by City staff, and includes the
independent auditor's unqualified opinion.
■ The Statistical Section contains select financial, economic and demographic
information,presented variously on either single or multi year bases.
City of Bangor,Maine
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
For tlie Year Ended June 30, 1999
Introductory Section
LOCATION AND BRIEF HISTORY
The City of Bangor is situated in eastern Maine, in the south-central section of Penobscot County.
It is the County seat and the third most populous of Maine's 22 cities. The City is located
approximately 235 miles north-northeast of Boston; 140 miles northeast of Portland, the State's
largest city;and appro�mately 76 miles northeast of Augusta,the State Capital. Bangor is the hub
of an 11 municipality employment area as well as the commercial and cultural center for eastem
and northern Maine; a region that contains more than a third of the State's population.
The City occupies approximately 35 squaze miles on the western shore of the Penobscot River,
which forms its southeastern border and separates it from the City of Brewer. The Town of Veazie
is contiguous to Bangor on its east. The Town of Orono, home of the principal campus of the
University of Maine System,forms the City's northeastern border. The Town of Glenburn borders
Bangor on the north, the Town of Hermon on the west and the Town of Hampden forms its
southern border.
Bangor was first settled in 1656, incorporated as a town on February 25, 1791 and as a city on
February 12, 1834. During the 1850's, Bangor was the world's leading lumber port and was
second only to Chicago in the 1860's to 1870's. In the ensuing years, Bangor has become a major
trade, distribution, service and commercial center for the central, eastern and northern portions of
the State.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The City's present charter dates to 1931, and has been amended several times,most recently by
City voters in November, 1995. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government,
with a nine-member Council elected at-large to staggered three year terms, three of which lapse
each year.
Councilors are limited by City Charter to two consecutive terms. The Council Chair is the City's
Mayor,and is elected annually by the Council from its ranks. The Mayor principally presides over
Council meetings, makes committee assignments, and acts as the City's spokesperson. The City
Manager is the City's Chief Operating Officer, and is appointed by the Council, as are the
Assessor, Solicitor and Clerk. The current City Manager has been in his position since 1988.
The City's schools are governed by a seven-member School Committee. Like the Council, its
members are elected at large to staggered three year terms. Unlike the Council, there is no limit
to the number of consecutive terms a member may serve. The School Committee employs the
Superintendent of Schools as its Chief Operating Officer. The cunent Superintendent has been
in his position since 1987.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Finance Director is the City's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. As such, he is
responsible for all financial functions, including managing and recording the City's financial
transactions, planning for the City's financial needs, prudently investing City funds, identifying
and managing financial risk, borrowing funds as authorized by Council action, and performing
those tasks assigned by the City Manager pertaining to the City's affairs.
The Deputy Finance Director is also the City Auditor. As such, she is most directly responsible
for maintaining the City's accounts and records, producing the City's general purpose financial
statements and assisting the Finance Director in the performance of his duties.
The Finance Department is primarily responsible for establishing and maintaining the necessary
internal control mechanisms and structures to assure that City assets are properly collected,
accounted for, administered, safeguarded and expended. Under the direction of the Finance
Director, the Department consists of the following divisions:
■ Treasury is responsible for the collection, investment and custody of the City's
financial resources.
■ Audit is principally responsible for maintaining the City's financial records as they
pertain to its assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures.
■ Tax Collection assures that all taxes due the Ciry are collected.
■ Risk Management mitigates and insures against the inherent risks.of conducting
City business. This function is expanded upon under the section entitled Risk
Management, further below.
■ Purchasing administers the City's procurement of goods and services and manages
its fixed assets.
■ Information Services is primarily responsible for maintaining the City's computers
and related systems.
The Budgetin�Process
The City's budgeting process is structured around its fiscal year,which begins on July 1 st and ends
on the following June 30th. The City annually adopts budgets for its general fund and eight
enterprise funds through a carefully prescribed process, as described immediately below.
The City Charter requires that the City Manager submit a recommended budget to the Council by
the second Monday in April. The budget,which must be in balance, contains estimates of(1) all
non-tax revenues and receipts expected to be received during the next fiscal year, (2) the
I-3

ComprehensiveAnnual Financial Report
For the Year Ended June 30,1999 � .
Introductory Section
expenditures necessary to support City operations, (3) debt service requirements, and(4)the ta�c
levy required to achieve balance between revenues and expenditures.
The Council may modify recommended expenditures and the recommended tax levy at its sole
discretion. If the Council fails to adopt a budget by July 1 st,the City Manager's proposed budget
automatically becomes that fiscal year's budget. In either case, an appropriate property tax levy
is established and filed with the City Assessor. �
Internal Controls
The City employs a full array of internal budgetary controls to assure the proper receipt, custody
and disposition of its funds and other assets: These include the requirement of formal Council
authorization to accept and expend funds, segregation of duties with respect to disbursements,
computer programs that require manual ovemde if payments exceed budget,the use of purchase
requisitions, warrants, dual signature requirements, and the like.
Independent Audit
In addition to the internal controls briefly described above,the City Charter requires that an annual
audit be performed by an independent certified public accountant. The firm of Runyon Kersteen
Ouellette was selected by the City Council to perform this audit, beginning with the fiscal 1997
statements. The firm's unqualified opinion as to the City's general purpose financial statements
is included in the Financial Section.
Additionally, the firm performed various tests and procedures to meet the requirements of the
Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and related OMB Circular A-133. The independent auditor's
report pertaining to these requirements is received and maintained separately from the audited
general purpose financial statements, as are all collateral documents that may result from the
annual audit. All such documents are available upon request.
Risk Management
Overall risk management responsibility fa11s to the Finance Department,which identifies and takes
those steps deemed reasonable to ameliorate the foreseeable risks inherent in the normal conduct
of City business. Accordingly,the City regulazly purchases commercially available insurance for
a variety of identified risks. These include coverages under commercial general liability, auto,
property damage,crime and dishonesty and various other policies,each with limits and deductibles
deemed prudent and reasonable, given the nature of the risks, the cost of coverage and the City's
ability to fund various types and levels of losses.
In addition, the City self-insures its workers' compensation program and also purchases excess
insurance to limit its financial risk to a maximum of$500,000 per occurrence. Integral to the
proper administration of this program is an annual evaluation to assure the adequacy of funding
I-4

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
For the Year Ended June 30, I999
Introductory Section
to at least an 80% confidence level. For the past seven years,the actuarial firm of Liscord, Wazd
and Roy has performed this evaluation.
Finally, the City engages the services of a risk management/safety consultant on a contractual
basis. The consultant's responsibilities include administering the City's insurance programs,
identifying safety hazards, assisting City personnel in remedying them,conducting safety training
throughout all City departments, and a variety of other related activities.
Cash Management
Investment authority resides with the Finance Director and Deputy Director, acting in accordance
with the City's investment policy. The policy defines the types of investments that may be made,
and specifically prohibits investments in so-called "derivative" instniments. It is City policy to
invest all available operating cash so as to frrst, preserve City assets; second, assure liquidity and
third, earn an optimal market rate of return within these parameters.
The City's investment strategy with respect to operating cash is based on the principle of matching
maturities to cash flow needs, and is constructed around three time horizons, as described below:
■ Medium term liabilities are due within a one to three year period and are funded by
securities maturing on or about the dates when such liabilities mature. Typically,
funds for this purpose are invested in essentially risk-free vehicles, such as treasury
bonds and notes, and the securities of select government agencies.
■ Shorter term cash requirements are met with appropriately short term maturities,
once again matched as to maturity. Securities typically used for this purpose aze
treasury bills, as well as treasury notes and bonds maturing on or near the dates when
cash will be required. Other short term investments include the obligations of
government agencies, both federally guaranteed and otherwise, and occasionally
"prime" commercial paper for cash needs within 270 days.
■ Finally, overnight investments are executed through a nightly"sweep"of the City's
operating accounts, designed to keep cash as fully invested as possible. Such funds
are invested through the City's depository bank in perfected overnight collateralized
repurchase agreements, and are insured for up to $2.0 million by The Travelers
Group.
Investment decisions among fixed income asset classes aze generally made on the basis of relative
value at the time the investment is made. Further, the City's portfolio is best characterized as
neither actively nor passively managed. Securities iypically remain in portfolio until maturity,
unless either liquidated for cash flow reasons or called by the issuer.

Introductory Section
FISCAL 1999 RESULTS
The accompanying general purpose financial statements detail the City's financial results for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. As defined therein,and based upon accepted criteria,the financial
reporting entiiy depicted by these statements includes only the City, its departments and its funds.
General Fund Status and Results
The General Fund is the City's principal operating fund. It provides for general government
functions including Assessing,the City Council,the City Clerk's office,Legal,Executive,Human
Resources, Finance, Planning, Economic Development, Public Safety, Health and Welfare,
Recreation, Public Buildings and Services, and Education.
The General Fund also provides funding for other organizations ar;d governments, such as the
Bangor Public Library, the Bangor Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Penobscot County and
several private schools within the City. It accounts for well over two thirds of the City's total
revenues and expenditures,and substantially all its non-enterprise fund revenues and expenditures.
Balance Sheet:
The General Fund Balance Sheet (Exhibit 1) focuses on the City's liquidity, or those assets and
liabilities likely to convert to cash, and be paid within the next fiscal year, respectively.
At the end of fiscal 1999 ("FY99"),the General Fund had$17.8 million in assets. Not all of this,
however, is expected to become available in fisca12000 ("FY00"). One such exception is $2.9
million of the $3.3 million in amounts due from other funds,which are more properly considered ,
long term in nature. (As discussed below,the City has setaside approximately $2.9 million in the
designated fund balance as a reserve against these amounts.) Additionally, a substantial but
indeterminate portion of taxes receivable will likely remain uncollected and be carried over to
subsequent years. These amounts are also more properly considered long term in nature.
Eliminating these uncertainties, cash and those amounts likely to become cash and thus available
for General Fund use during FY00 minimally approximates $12.2 million, representing a $1.8
million, or 17.5% increase from the previous year, when $10.4 million was available. This is
predominantly attributable to an increase of$2.6 million in pooled cash and investments offset by
decreases of$336 thousand and$447 thousand in non-tax receivables and amounts due from other
governments, respectively.
Liabilities consist of what the City is, at year end,obligated to pay during the next fiscal yeaz. At
fiscal yeaz end,the General Fund showed$6.6 million in liabilities. This number,however,should
be adjusted to reflect that the$2.2 million in"deferred revenue"is merely an accounting offset to
taxes receivable, and represents amounts owed to, not by the City. (It should be noted that long
term debt is not shown in the General Fund Balance Sheet. These amounts are shown in the
General Long Term Debt Account Group, and are discussed below under the caption Long Term
Debt.)
I-6
City of Bangor,Maine
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
For the Year Ended June 30, 1999
Introductory Section
The amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities equals net current assets, or working
cash. Reflecting the adjustments noted above, at fiscal year end this approximated $7.8 million,
up from FY98's $6.2 million. This is the net amount of the General Fund's expendable resources
which are expected to be available for operating purposes in the coming year.
The General Fund fund balance represents residual assets, or the difference between all General
Fund assets and liabilities,and may be viewed as the accumulation of operating surpluses over the
years. It has three components:
■ Reserved balances are contractually obligated to be expended in subsequent years
and are thus unavailable for other purposes.
■ Designated balances are set aside by the Council for non-contractually obligated
expenditures in subsequent years. They may, at Council discretion, be made
available for other purposes. .
■ Unreserved/undesignated balances are available, and may be appropriated by the
Council for any lawful purpose. It is City policy to target these balances at 7.5% of
the previous year's General Fund expenditures, net of debt service. At the end of
FY99,unreserved and undesignated balances had increased by$297 thousand to$4.2
million, thus representing 7.3% of General Fund expenditures. This change consists
two components, as shown below.

Ending unreserved/undesignated fund balance $4,242.2
Revenues•
The General Fund is primarily supported by ta��es, intergovernmental revenues and charges for
services. As shown in Schedule A-2, FY99 revenues were just under$62.0 million; an increase
of$2.1 million, or 3.6% from FY98. This difference is largely accounted for by an increase of
$1.5 million in intergovernmental revenues and $350 thousand in increased charges for services.

The proportion of locally generated revenues to the General Fund decreased for the second year
in a row,to 71.4%from 72.9%,hopefully portending a favorable trend. General Fund revenues,
their respective percentages of total revenues,and both the amount and percentage change between
fiscal 1998 and 1999 are shown immediately below.

Totals $59,840.5 100.0% $61,976.5 100.0% $2,136.6 3.6%
Results in the three most significant revenue categories were as follows:
■ Tax revenues represent the General Fund's principal source of revenue and consist
primarily of real, personal property and excise taxes. In FY99, $32.4 million, or
91.9% of tax revenues were derived from real and personal property taxes, an
increase of$114 thousand over FY98. Property taxes and related revenue accounted
for 51.6% of FY99 revenue, down from 53.4% in FY98. Current collection of
property tax revenues continued to improve,yielding 95.74%in the current year, up
nicely from 95.56% in FY98.
■ Intergovernmental revenue is composed almost exclusively of State revenue
sharing and school subsidies. Overall, intergovernmental revenue increased $1.5
million, or 9.2%from FY98,primarily due to $1.2 million in increased state support
to education through higher Medicaid,Title I,special education, and general purpose
aid receipts.
■ Charges for services consist of both municipal and school charges, both of which
were up over FY98 levels, for a combined gain of$350 thousand, or 4.6%. This
increase was predominantly due to an additional$254 thousand in interfund charges
flowing to Public Buildings and Services.
Ex�enditures•
As shown in Schedule A-2, FY99 General Fund expenditures were $59.5 million; an increase of
$1.2 million, or 2.0%from FY98. As always, the largest expenditure category was education, at
� $31.9 million; an increase of $1.7 million, or 5.7% from FY98. The City portion of FY99
expenditures was $27.5 million, down about $568 thousand, or 2.0% from FY98. Ciiy

Totals $58,293.1 100.0°/a $59,460.7 100.0% $1,167.6 2.0%
Notable expenditure categories are as follows:
■ Public safetv expenditures are divided between police and fire services, which, in
total, declined by $36 thousand, or .4% from FY98 levels. This was largely
attributable to the Police Department having come in some $79 thousand under
budget,primarily due to lower overtime payroll and a vacancy that went unfilled for
several months. "
■ Public services consist of the engineering, highway, electrical, forestry, sanitation,
recycling, waterfront and cemetery divisions. The $326 thousand (4.3%) decrease
in expenditures from FY98 is largely attributable to having fflregone approximately
$650 thousand in extraordinary FY98 expenditures resulting from the January ice
storm. This was partially offset by an increase in solid waste tipping fees of$259
thousand.
■ Other agencies and a�ppropriations include expenditures for County ta�ces,private
school subsidies, the Bangor Public Library, the Bangor Convention and Visitors
Bureau,and debt service. In aggregate,these decreased by$93 thousand, or 2.3%on
a year to year basis, as an increase of$147 thousand in Library support was more
than offset by a decrease in tax increment financing payments of$247 thousand.

Enternrise Fund Results
The City operates eight enterprise funds,essentially as business entities. These funds(the financial
results of which are detailed in Schedules D-1 through D-3) include Bangor International Airport,
the Sewer Utility Fund,the City Nursing Facility,the Parking Fund, Bass Park, Bangor Municipal
Golf Course, the Park Woods housing complex and the Economic Development Fund.
Together,these eight funds generated$20.7 million in charges for services,and an operating profit,
before depreciation,of$5.9 million in FY99. This was down slightly from$21.6 million and$6.4
million,respectively, in FY98. Virtually all this difference is accounted for in the Airport Fund,
as detailed below.
Bangor International Airport:
At $9.1 million, operating revenue at the airport decreased by $876 thousand, or 8.7%. Of this,
approximately$507 thousand is due to a change in the accounting treatment of passenger facility
charges ("PFC's"),which are reflected in a restatement of last year's ending fund balance. Where
PFC's had previously been recognized as revenue,they are now recorded as capital contributions
and thus do not flow through the income statement. Operating expenses of$7.1 million(before
depreciation and amortization, hereinafter refened to collectively as "depreciation") represented
a decrease of$309 thousand, or 4.2% from FY98 levels.
Largely as a result of the PFC reclassification,the Airport's operating loss (including depreciation)
increased by$593 thousand to($3.3)million,and operating cash flow was$1.5 million,down$2.0
million (56.9%) from FY98.
As a result of marking the Airport's $11.7 million investment portfolio to market, interest income
declined by$594 thousand. This, in conjunction with the PFC reclassification resulted in a$13
million (53.7%) decline in net income, after adding back depreciation on assets acquired with
contributions (hereinafter referred to as "depreciation add back"). At fiscal year end, retained
earnings stood at $33.9 million after restatement; cash and equivalents at$5.2 million.
Sewer Utility Fund:
Operating revenues were up $134 thousand, or 2.2%, increasing to $6.3 million. Operating
expenses before depreciation decreased by $75 thousand, or 2.9%, to $2.5 million, resuming a
recently-broken trend. Net operating income was $2.4 million, which represented a 12.3%, or
$258 thousand increase from FY98. Operating cash flow was $3.7 million, down$72 thousand,
or 1.9% from FY98. Net income, after depreciation add back, was $1.4 million, an increase of
$243 thousand, or 20.7% from FY98. Retained earnings at fiscal year end were $14.9 million,
while cash and equivalents were $3.9 million.

Comprehensive Annua!Financial Report
For the Year Ended June 30, 1999
Introductory Section . .
The Fund's large amount of cash, derived from several interlocal agreements regarding the
construction costs of the City's secondary wastewater treatment plant, provides stabilization
against rate increases which might be necessitated by the capital projects required pursuant to a
consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Because of this, sewer
rates have remained unchanged since mid FY96 despite flat to declining usage and increasing debt
service requirements.
As it has for the past few years, the Sewer Fund operates on a planned cash flow deficit basis,
using its reserves to defray a portion of its debt service expenses. Of no sma11 benefit in preserving
this cash is the current agreement between the City and the EPA under which the latter matches
capital expenditures pursuant to the consent decree on a 55/45 basis, up to a maximum
contribution of five million dollars. This has slowed the increase i�n debt service requirements to
which the utility had been subject, allowing for the further conservation of cash. Nevertheless,
current projections indicate that, as this cash is exhausted,rates may ultimately have to be raised
in small increments to cover cash flow deficits projected to begin in about 2005.
City Nursing Facilitv:
Operating revenue declined $361 thousand (14.0%) to $2.2 million, due to continued low
occupancy rates. Operating expenses before depreciation decreased by $83 thousand (2.9%), to
$2.7 million. As a result,the net operating loss at the facility grew from $330 thousand to $614
thousand, an 86.2% increase. Operating cash flow was a negative $682 thousand, a major
deterioration from last year's negative $290 thousand. The facility's net loss, after depreciation
add back,was $434 thousand,bringing retained earnings to a negative $1.1 million. Ending cash
and equivalents was minimal, at $13 thousand.
In FY99,the facility required both a General Fund subsidy of$184 thousand and an interfund loan
of$579 thousand, a significant deterioration from FY98's $205 thousand and $162 thousand,
respectively. In addition to annually-appropriated operating subsidies, the nursing facility has,
over the years, received cumulative interfund loans(ie. cash flow support)from the General Fund
in the amount of$1.4 million. This amount has been fully reserved in the General Fund.
A more detailed discussion of the Nursing Facility and the City's plans to remedy its financial and
operating results can be found in the Departmental Focus section,presented further below.
Parking Fund•
As it has since the construction of the Pickering Square garage, the Parking Fund incurred its
expected loss, although its operating performance did improve by $51 thousand before giving
effect to an operating subsidy of$357 thousand. Operating revenues increased 18.0% to $700
thousand, while operating expenses before depreciation increased 22.4%, to $438 thousand.
Despite this narrowing margin, the operating loss before depreciation expense improved by$26
thousand. Net income after both the subsidy and depreciation add back improved from $69
thousand to $105 thousand, accounting for essentially all of the fund's newly-positive retained
earnings position. Ending cash and equivalents were $353 thousand; up from last yeaz's $287

thousand. The General Fund's $357 subsidy,primarily to meet debt service, was down slightly
from FY98's $372 thousand.
Bass Park:
The Bass Park complex generated $1.1 million in operating revenue in FY99, increasing $10
thousand over FY98. Operating expenses before depreciation decreased by$23 thousand,or 1.6%,
to just over $1.4 million. Thus, on an operating basis (without depreciation), the complex lost
approximately $262 thousand (against a$295 thousand loss in FY98), and overall showed a loss
of$64 thousand after a General Fund subsidy of$349 thousand;this versus a net loss,after a$312
thousand subsidy, of$136 thousand in FY98. Year end retained earnings declined to a negative
$1.3 million. Ending cash and equivalents was minimal at $9 thousand.
On an operating cash flow basis, the complex lost $268 thousand, or $3 thousand more than in
FY98. The General Fund was required to provide support in the amount of$515 thousand which
consisted of an operating subsidy of$349 thousand and a cash infusion of$166 thousand. This
represents a deterioration from FY98,when a total of$345 thousand in General Fund support was
required. This additional support was required because of increased capital expenditures at the
Facility, a portion of which will be recaptured upon the CiTy's next bond issue.
By fiscal year end,the complex had accumulated$1.5 million in cash flow loans from the General
Fund. As is the case with the City Nursing Facility,this amount has also been fully reserved. Also
like the City Nursing Facility, efforts continue to improve the complex's financial performance.
These have been previously described in the City's 1997 CAFR in the Departmental Focus
section.
Municipal Golf Course:
The golf course continues to be extraordinarily popular to the residents of Bangor and surrounding
communities. Accordingly it continues to operate at a surplus,on both a net income and cash flow
basis. At $722 thousand, operating revenues were up 4.4%, or$30 thousand over last year, and
operating expenses were $341 thousand, down .8%, or$3 thousand from FY98.
Operating income was $306 thousand; up from $275 thousand in FY98. Net income was $331
thousand,and operating cash flow was$421 thousand,up from last year's results of$288 thousand
and$345 thousand,respectively. Ending retained earnings were$1.6 million;cash and equivalents
were $427 thousand. In accordance with City policy, $165 thousand, or half of the golf course's
net income (not its cash)was transferred to reserved retained earnings for future improvements.
Park Woods Complex:
Net income after the depreciation add back was$21 thousand,after giving effect to a$15 thousand
operating subsidy from the General Fund. In FY98, net income (after the add back) was $34
thousand,including a General Fund subsidy of$39 thousand. Netting out the subsidy from both
numbers, the Fund's performance improved slightly year over year. Operating expenses before
depreciation decreased by$21 thousand, to $251 thousand. Net operating cashflow improved to

a negative$5 thousand from negative $10 thousand in FY98. Retained earnings closed the year
with a$59 thousand deficit; cash and equivalents were minimal at under one hundred dollars.
Economic Development Fund:
In FY99,this fund generated$231 thousand in operating revenue,up$57 thousand,or 32.5%over
FY 98's results. T'his was due to increased lease payments received on it various properties. Its
operating expenses before depreciation were $63 thousand, down $6 thousand, or 8.1%; net
operating income was$136 thousand,up substantially from FY98's$77 thousand. Cash flow from
operating activities was $160 thousand, also up substantially from FY98's $103 thousand.
Retained earnings at year end was$324 thousand;ending cash and equivalents was$214 thousand.
LONG TERM DEBT
As shown in Section III, Note 9, at fiscal year end the City had long term debt totaling $67.8
million; $62.9 million of which is of the full faith and credit, general obligation variety. Of this,
$32.1 million,or 51.1%is fully self-supporting,and is paid from user charges from the wastewater
treatment plant.
Most of the balance of this debt is for schools($12.0 million)and the General Fund($9.3 million).
Smaller amounts are attributable to those funds which require General Fund support and thus must
carry the City's full faith and credit pledge. These include the Parking Fund ($3.9 million),the
Economic Development Fund ($3.6 million), Bass Park ($1.3 million), and the City Nursing
Facility ($762 thousand).
The City is also responsible for its proportionate share of the debt incurred by Penobscot County
and Maine Vocational Region Four. At year end, the City's portions of this debt were $740
thousand and $74 thousand, respectively.
During FY99, the City issued $6.2 million in new general obligation debt ($807 thousand
attributable to the General Fund), and retired $5.0 million($930 thousand of which was General
Fund debt) . General obligation debt service payments due in FY00 aggregate to$7.9 million,$2.8
million of which represents interest. The City's general obligation debt has carried a Moody's
"Aa3" rating since February, 1999.
DEPARTMENTAL FOCUS:
BANGOR CITY NURSING FACILITY
The City owns and operates, as one of its eight enterprise funds, a health care facility for the
benefit of its sick and elderly citizens. Beginning as "the poor farm" in the late 19th century, the
Facility has evolved over the years into a 61-bed nursing facility, accommodating the elderly and
infirm with a mix of both skilled and semi-skilled nursing services. As further preface, it is
I-13

appropriate to state that the care rendered at the Facility is, and always has been recognized as
among the best available to area residents.
Since the mid-1960's the Bangor City Nursing Facility, as it is currently known,has been housed
in a former Air Force building on the grounds of what had previously been Dow Air Force Base.
Although it had periodically been self-supporting, in recent years the facility's financial fortunes
have taken a profound downward turn,requiring ever-increasing subsidies and cash flow support
from the General Fund. Since FY95, such support has been as follows:
General Fund Su�nort to the Bangor City Nursing Facilitv
FY95 through FY99
(Dollars in Thousands)
AnuroQriated Additional Cash Total General
Fiscal Year Subsidv Flow Support Fund Su�nort
1995 $67.7 $20.1 $87•8
1996 183.6 13.4 197.0
1997 155.9 279.4 435.3
1998 204.8 162.0 3gg•g
1999 184.4 579.0 763.4
Totals $796.4 $1,053.9 $1,850.3
Thus, the Facility has received almost $1.9 million in General Fund support over the past five
fiscal years. Although occupancy trends have recently become more favorable, the City has
budgeted $623 thousand in additional support for FY00.
Realizing that the often deliberate workings of municipal government are ill-suited to managing
a health care facility,the City has, during this period of financial stress in the Furid, attempted to
limit its financial risk with respect to the Facility. Such attempts have included putting both the
Facility's management and the Facility itself out to bid, exploring joint venture possibilities with
other local health care providers, and engaging several consultants to help stem the losses. Thus
far,these efforts have largely been ineffective.
Several factors have impacted both the Facility's performance and the City's inability to limit its
losses. Among these aze the effects of State Medicaid legislatior�and regulations which have both
constricted the Facility's market and limited its reimbursement for those residing there; the need
for continuing improvements to an aging, less-than-optimally designed physical plant; and rapid
management turnover(there have been four administrators in the past four yeazs, as well as two
substantial periods of time under an interim administrator). Finally, but by no means
unimportantly,the question of continued Facility operation is a highly emotional and political topic
which,when raised, invariably results in significant community controversy.
Against this backdrop, in late 1997 the City Council decided to implement the recommendations
made by Baker,Newman and Noyes, a consultant retained to develop programmatic changes that
I-14
City of Bangor,Maine
Comprehensive Annual Financia!Report
For the Year Ended June 30,1999
Introductory Section
might alter the Facility's financial performance. Those recommendations called for the City to
convert a portion of the current nursing beds to residential care at a capital eost of approximately
$425 thousand. In addition,the Council directed that the Facility be divested and"spun off'into
a not-for-profit entity, effectively removing it from the City's chart of accounts.
Accordingly, in February, 1999 the City included in its annual bond issue the funds necessary to
make these changes. It was felt that, in the final analysis,the relatively greater market demand for
residential care would more easily fill the Facility's beds. This,combined with the lower intensity
of care required by such residents,would outweigh the lower reimbursement rates received by the
City.
In the intervening months, a new administrator has been retained, and census at the Facility has
increased dramatically. In light of this, the City Council has had occasion to revisit Facility
operations yet again. In doing so,the Council both reaffirmed its intention to divest itself of the
Facility as described earlier, and held in abeyance implementation of the residential care
conversion until a new board of directors has been seated.
In an effort to maximize its chances of success after divestiture, the City intends to retain several
of the Facility's fixed costs for itself. These are expected to include, at a minimum, existing debt
service and a portion of accrued retirement benefits,currently aggregating$225 thousand per year.
Additionally,it is quite likely that the City will need to provide some form of continuing operating
subsidy to the new entity for some as yet undetermined period. It is management's opinion that
such actions,while not without substantial costs, will ultimately allow for better management of
the business risks associated with this venture.
As to the use of the$425 thousand in bond proceeds,these have and will be reallocated to physical
plant improvements required under various licensing and accreditation standards.
ECONOMIC BASE, CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Bangor is a commercial, industrial and residential community that serves as a hub for a large
geographic region. The City's land area includes tracts of forest and farm lands, open space and
riverfront areas,and a developed downtown business district. Lazge portions of the City are as yet
undeveloped, and can accommodate significant future growth.
The City today reflects both its Native American and logging heritage along the banks of the
Penobscot River and its tributaries. Largely as a result of its location, Bangor has been a regional
center and gateway to eastern,central and northern Maine since its earliest settlements. For nearly
400 years, Bangor has been the destination and home of explorers, trail blazers, and fortune
seekers. First settled as a frontier outpost, the vast richness of the region's forests attracted
investors, entrepreneurs, and laborers to Bangor in the early 1800's. By 1870, Bangor was the
lumber capital of the world, with a billion boazd feet shipped from its docks annually.

Introductory Section
Today, Bangor thrives with innovative businesses that have achieved regional, national and
international success. The City is the economic, educational,recreational,distribution, and health
care center for the central, eastern and northern Maine regions. Bangor also serves as northern
New England's economic link to the Canadian Maritimes and Eastern Quebec. The City is a major
center for the communication,banking, commercial, industrial, and governmental sectors in the
State.
The City is committed to preserving its viable economic base while creating new opportunities for
future economic growth. To achieve these objectives,the City is proactive in supporting economic
activity through planned capital improvements, innovative financing, and aggressive mazketing.
Infrastructure and Su�port Services
Bangor's e�ctensive array of support services and infrastructure help greatly in maintaining existing
businesses and broadening economic growth opportunities. Bangor enjoys excellent access to New
England and U.S. markets via the Interstate Highway System, and a network of State highways.
Transportation alternatives are numerous and competitive,with two railroads and thirty-four major
trucking companies providing overnight service from Bangor to points along the Eastern Seaboard.
Bangor International Airport (BIA) connects the community to the rest of the U.S. and foreign
markets. BIA provides international overnight shipping services via the U.S. Postal Service's
Express Mail,Federal Express,Airborne Express,and United Parcel Service. The airport has long
been nationally recognized as a successful military base conversion, and now represents
approximately 10% of the region's total economic activity. Almost parenthetically, BIA has the
second longest civilian runway on the East Coast, and is an alternative landing site for NASA's
Space Shuttle missions.
Bangor is served by a full and technologically advanced complement of utilities that supports the
economic base of both the City and the region. Bangor is one of the two major telecommunication
hubs that Bell Atlantic has established in Maine. Accordingly,the City is the connecting point far
much of the more than 65,000 miles of fiber optic cable currently in place. Further, Mid Maine
Communications has extended its fiber optic network from Bangor both south to Portland and into
northern Maine, and is servicing much of the City, including its commercial and industrial parks.
These facilities provide the necessary infrastructure to address the unique demands of the
community and future enterprises.
With four hospitals, Bangor is a regional center for health care services. With four commercial
' and 1 public television station, 12 radio stations and New England's 4th largest daily newspaper,
Bangor is also the media hub for the northern and eastern part of the State.
The Bangor region is also central Maine's center for higher education and reseazch. The University
of Maine System's flagship campus is located in Orono, eight miles to the west, and the City
proper is home to five other institutions of higher learning; Husson College,University College

of Bangor,.Beal College,Eastern Maine Technical College,and the Bangor Theological Seminary.
Over fifteen thousand students attend these institutions.
Current Economic Conditions
Bangor has a stable and diverse economic base. Major employers include a diversified mix of
health care, educational,professional,retail,manufacturing, and governmental entities. In 1998,
the Bangor region had a workforce of 53,480. The largest employment sectors were services
(16,434 employees), wholesale and retail trade (13,977), and government (11,768). Bangor
residents accounted for 17,477 employees in the 1998 regional labor force. Bangor's 1998
unemployment rate of 3.6% was substantially improved over the 1997 rate of 4.8%, indicating
strong employment opportunities for Bangor's residents.
Another indicator of economic vitality is building permit activity. In calendar 1998, the City
issued a total of 507 building permits with an indicated value of$41.1 million, 27.2%higher than
calendar 1997's $323 million,and 37.1%higher than the prior ten-year average of$30.0 million.
Bangor is the second largest retail market in Maine, after Portland. Taken together, the Bangor
Mall,Airport Mall,Broadway commercial center,Union Street commercial center,and the Bangor
Center Development District have long established Bangor as the regional hub of the eight-county
eastern Maine retail market. Bangor's retail sector serves an extensive geographic area with a
population exceeding 3.1 million in eastern Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. Bangor's 1998
taxable retail sales were $878 million, representing a 7.6% increase from the prior yeaz.
Indeed,with less than three percent of the State's population, Bangor's share of the State's retail
sales has consistently been in excess of 7%since 1988. Over the same period, Bangor's share of
County sales has grown significantly, to just under 60%.
Recent New Development
Bangor continues to enjoy a stable economy with strong retail and service components. Indeed,
the ten largest development projects in 1998-99�vere for retail sales and professional services. The
Bangor Mall area continued its commercial development apace, with seven major projects in the
past year that added another 155,000 square feet of retail space representing almost$10 million
in private investment.
Additional facilities were also added to Bangor's health care and public housing base as well. The
largest of these was at Eastern Maine Medical Center, which constructed a 740 space parking
garage and 33,850 square foot ambulatory care unit at its main campus on State Street at a cost
of$7.1 million. Other development activity included Acadia Hospital's 2,000 square foot addition
and the Bangor Housing Authority's construction of a 9,400 square foot day care center.
Development at and in the vicinity of the Bangor International Airport continued with expansions
in and azound the airport, in the Maine Business Enterprise Park and BIA Commercial Industrial

Park. Of some importance is the recently announced partnership between Telford Aviation and
The Ages Group,a division of Volvo Aero. In a venture that will result in significant new activity
at Bangor International Airport, Ages will transfer$50 million of spare aircraft parts inventory to
Telford, an aircraft installation, testing, repair and maintenance firm which established its
operations in Bangor seven years ago.
Telford will act as a distributor for Ages,which will result in much higher levels of aircraft repair
in Bangor, providing an additional 35 highly skilled jobs at BIA. To accommodate this new
activity, BIA will build a 15,000 square foot addition to existing buildings now being leased to
Telford.
Other significant development at and in the vicinity of Bangor International Airport included a
23,500 square foot expansion by Bangor Savings Bank in the Maine Business Enterprise Park.
Also,Unicel recently opened a 35,650 square foot Maine corporate headquarters building in the
BIA Commercial Industrial Park. Finally, the City has constructed a new hangar facility to
accommodate the growing fleet of private corporate aircraft using the Airport.
ONGOING INITIATIVES
The City has both long and short term projects and initiatives. Many of the projects identified in
the City's two previous CAFR's continue. As these are either completed or become more
routinized, new priorities are identified and pursued. All else equal,however,there aze really two
principal priorities for the City: redevelopment of the downtown business district and the
waterfront.
Downtown Redevelopment
Perhaps the most significant accomplishment in the past year is the enhancement of the economic
vitality of the downtown area. In recent years the City has been plagued with a number of large
vacant buildings in its downtown. As the retail sector shifted to the City's growing new ietail areas
(primarily the Bangor Mall area where over 3 million square feet on new retail space has been
developed over the past 20 years) the challenge has been to find new uses for these buildings.
Realizing the symbolic importance of a vibrant downtown, over the past three years significant
staff and financial resources have been devoted to imparting new vitality to this important part of
the City. The effort is proving worthwhile.
Renovation and reuse of the 140,000 square foot former Freeses department store building;with
its dominant presence as a Main Street anchor,was substantially completed in 1999. The building
now provides 75 units of new housing in the downtown area.
Additionally,the community is well on its way to meeting its fundraising goals for a 22,000 square
foot state of the art children's museum,to be located on the bottom three levels of the Main Street
side of the building. The museum is scheduled to open in 2000, and is expected to attract 70,000
I-18

Introductory Section
visitors to the downtown annually. The City is also working closely with the University of Maine,
which is interested in occupying the remaining 14,500 square feet of building space as an art
museum. If, as we expect,these efforts are successful, the art museum would also open in 2000.
, Cadillac Mountain Sports (named after Cadillac Mountain in nearby Acadia National Park) has
established itself in the 44,000 square foot former W.T. Grants building with a small degree of
loan assistance from the City through its Federal Community Development Block Grant Program.
The City is also working closely with the Penobscot County Commissioners,who have a strong
interest in expanding their adjacent County offices and court system into the remaining upper floor
space of this building.
Across the street from the Penobscot County Courthouse, renovation of the 33,165 squaze foot
former Bangor Furniture complex is substantially completed. These four adjacent buildings will
house a mixture of retail,restaurant,residential and office uses. The restaurant and retail areas aze
now fully occupied. Construction is being completed in the remaining areas to accommodate
specific tenant needs. ,
The City assisted in the project by providing tax increment financing and a loan for the residential
component through its Federal Community Development Block Grant Program. The City has also
expanded a nearby parking lot,providing additional parking for the project's tenants. This project
complements the rehabilitation of two adjacent historic mixed-use properties, successfully
completed and occupied in the last two years.
As an example of the new activity downtown,Blue CrossBlue Shield of Maine,which established
a call center and walk in office in One Merchants Plaza in the prior year, continues to expand at
that location, providing over 70 new jobs in the center of downtown.
Both complementing and adding to the cultural ambience of the proposed children's museum, art
museum, and recently completed $8 expansion of Bangor's Public Library, several local artists
have established studios in vacant,older former office space. Indeed,the upper levels of one office
building have been fully occupied by artists. This cultural interest, along with the addition of new
residential living opportunities, is giving a new life to the downtown and riverfront area. In all, .
the City's efforts have spawned a flurry of new interest and over$12 million in private investment
in the downtown.
Waterfront Redevelopment
The City is progressing in the redevelopment of almost a mile of prime Penobscot River frontage,
extending from the City's downtown area to the Bass Park Complex, one of Bangor's more
significant economic engines. Remediation of the 36-acre site,performed in cooperation with the
Maine Department of Environmental Protection,is now substantially complete,readying the azea
for development in 2000.

The City's riverfront planning and development consultant, Hunter Interests of Annapolis,
Maryland,has completed an economic feasibility analysis and conceptual development plan which
proposes a$180 million development that would include:
■ A five story, 250 room headquarters hotel anchoring the center of the site with an
adjacent 60,000 square foot high-technology conference center;
■ 100,000 square feet of office space;
■ 60,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space;
■ A 36,000 square foot Maine products pavilion;
■ Four buildings containing 310 residential apartment and condominium units;
■ A Phase II 175 room hotel adjacent to I-395;
■ A 30,000 square foot marina building serving the residential units and hotels;
■ A 36,000 square foot harbor master pavilion serving not only as a working harbor
master's office, but also as a visitor center with retail, food and beverage and
historical components;
■ A 36,000 square foot transportation center; and
■ A Greek style, banked amphitheater of 60,000 squaze feet, including stage area and
seating for up to 1,500. The amphitheater would be integrated into upper
hoteUconference center decking, plazas, and pedestrian linkages, and will serve as
the location for the highly popular summer Shakespeare festival and other
multi-faceted events in spring, summer, and fall.
A five thousand linear foot riverfront park will be developed along the river's edge with pedestrian
• walkways,bike-paths, and various other recreational amenities such as jogging and skating paths,
boardwalks, picnic azeas, an ice skating rink, cazousel, playgrounds, mazes, and the like.
Additionally,the City plans 750,000 square feet of grass and landscaped areas,including berming,
trees, shrubs, flower beds and hedges.
Public investment from a variety of funding sources is projected to be $36 million. This would
include funding for the proposed conference center, parking and other infrastructure
improvements. A State bond issue approved by voters in November, 1999 contains $1.2 million
for bulkhead and infrastructure improvements that will be undertaken in the spring of 2000.
The City has retained Hunter Interests to assist through the development phase. A Request for
Qualifications will be issued to developers in January, 2000, and a Request for Proposals will be
I-20

Introductory Section
issued in March, 2000. Additionally,the City continues to move on several other fronts. Some of
the more significant initiatives currently underway include the following:
■ Broadening the revenue base: One of the persistent financial weaknesses of Main
municipalities is their reliance on the property tax as the primary source of revenue.
This is not merely a matter of revenue diversification, but more importantly of
providing the financial wherewithal to undertake longer term,economic development
projects. The City has developed and is implementing a strategy to lobby the State
legislature for, among other things,the authority to levy a wider array of taxes that
�
will allow it and other Maine cities more financial flexibility.
One initiative of note is the ongoing efforts of a coalition of the State's larger cities
and towns, in which Bangor plays a principal role, to structure a permanent funding
source for the development and maintenance of ineeting and conference facilities
appropriate to market opportunities throughout the State. This initiative will play out
over the next year, and will be dependent upon the ability to structure a politically
"saleable"package of both revenue and power sharing.
■ Infrastructure and service im�rovements: Bangor continues to build upon its
strengths. Infrastructure investment,both to enhance the comrnunity's quality of life,
and to support economic growth, remains an important priority. Accordingly, the
City continues to be acutely attentive to the condition of its streets, sidewalks,public
transportation,waste disposal and other systems so as to maintain Bangor's livability
and its attractiveness to firms and individuals seeking to locate here. By their nature;
these are ongoing projects.
With further respect to the City's quality of life, Bangor offers the lowest cost of
living of any metropolitan area in New England, one of the lower crime rates of any
metropolitan area in the country, abundant green space and outdoor recreational
opportunities, longstanding support for the arts, and an exceptional public school
system that is consistently ranked among the best in the State.
Bangor has also been named the best small city in the country in the two most recent
MacMillan's Places Rated Almanac. Further, the City was recently ranked the best
of 17 metropolitan areas with populations under 100,000 in overall livability, and has
been favorably compared to 350 other metropolitan azeas across North America,
particularly with respect to its low crime rate and extraordinary recreational
opportunities.
■ Ne�hborhood preservation and improvement: The City has consistently pursued
policies designed to preserve and improve its neighborhoods. These efforts began
in the 1960's under the Urban Renewal program, when the City undertook a
systematic effort to identify and improve neighborhoods under stress. These efforts
have continued through such mechanisms as a residential rehabilitation program,
I-21
City of Bangor,Maine
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
For the Year Ended June 30, 1999
Introductory Section
funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program, as well as a
variety of local initiatives, as contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan which was
adopted in the early 1990's and revised two years ago.
A major component of this initiative is the ongoing review of City neighborhoods to
determine their present conditions and evaluate what, if any, intervention strategies
are necessary and appropriate to protect and preserve them. The City has targeted
specific areas of the City for a detailed review as to structure, condition and public
infrastructure.
On the basis of these evaluations and their resulting data, the City is developing
strategies to address those neighborhoods under the greatest stress. These will range
from enhanced code enforcement efforts, through infrastructure improvements, to
targeted residential rehabilitation; all geared toward stabilizing and improving those
areas found to be deteriorating on either a physical or socioeconomic basis.
■ Transportation:Bangor's central location within the State is, and always has been
one if its great strengths. Accordingly,transportation is a key ingredient in the City's
economic present and future. There are currently two initiatives proceeding from the
State level that will, over time, vastly improve and more closely integrate Bangor's
transportation facilities. Assuming these come to fruition,Bangor will become a hub
through which both passenger and freight traffic will eventually flow into and out of
the central and northern portions of the State, as well as between the surrounding
Canadian provinces and on into the Midwestern states.
The State's long range Strategic Passenger Plan as well as its Strategic Freight Plan
both identify Bangor as a key point of entry, departure and transhipment, largely due
to the presence of well-developed air, ground and rail transportation systems in and
around the City. As part of these companion plans, the State has recently allocated
approximately one million dollars,the major portion of which will be used to study
the development of intermodal facilities for moving passengers between BIA and
Mount Desert Island, the location of Bar Harbor.
Additionally,the Governor recently introduced a plan to improve the major east-west
roadway across the State. The plan includes both road straightening and widening
projects as well as the purchase of land along the route as a right of way for future
expansion to a four lane road.
Bangor would stand to benefit from any such improvements, as it sits astride the
existing east-west route and represents the shortest distance between Canada's
easternmost provinces and the cities of Quebec and Montreal. It is thus ideally
situated and equipped to act as a transhipment point for such commerce.

■ Economic development strate�v: Economic development activities remain vital
to the City. In addition to its many other efforts in the regard,the City continues to
work toward pulling the often disparate efforts of various groups and individuals into
one cohesive whole,and enhancing their effectiveness. T'his remains a longer term
effort, requiring careful coordination and planning, and is proceeding apace.
■ Intra-city communications: The City has completed the core installation of a new
communication system that will tie councilors and staff more closely together and
streamline many aspects of managing the City's affairs,thus moving the City in a less
paper-intensive direction. This represents the first step in more fully involving
citizens in City affairs through the increasingly wider dissemination of information
and by making government and its procedures more widely and easily accessible.
CONCLUSION
Overall the City of Bangor's financial position is sound. Our t� collection rate is strong and
continues to improve, our control of expenses is excellent and our procedures and processes for
managing City assets work well. Further,we are both liquid and prudently invested, and we have
adequate insurance and reserves to meet any reasonable unforeseen events.
As always, it is our sincerest hope that this document meets the informational needs of its primary
intended audience;the people of Bangor and their elected City Council. Its intent, as mentioned
at the outset, is to give the City's financial statements more depth, aid in their interpretation, and
help the reader identify the issues inherent in the City's financial operations. In addition, it is
intended to provide a means.by which interested parties can more fully assess the City's financial
well being. We hope that this has indeed been accomplished.
This document has also been prepared in accordance with the standards set by the Government
Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) with the intent of
submitting it for consideration under their Cert�cate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting program. GFOA awarded its Certificate of Achievement to the City of Bangor for its
first Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,which was produced for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997. The City's FY98 CAFR was similarly recognized by the GFOA.
The Certificate is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards
of state and local government financial reporting. In order to be awarded a Certificate, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report,the contents of which conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both
generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of
Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe this CAFR continues to conform
to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements and exacting standards.

Independent Auditor's Report
City Council •
City of Bangor,Maine:
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Bangor,
Maine, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, as listed in the table of contents. These
general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Bangor, Maine's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards appiicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes esamining, on a test basis,evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,the general purpose financial statements refened to above present fairly, in all
material respects,the financial position of the City of Bangor, Maine as of June 30, 1999, and the
results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary and nonexpendable trust fund types
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. .
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund and account group statements
presented on Schedules A-1 through G-2; are for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Bangor, Maine. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general
purpose financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all materia) respects in relation
to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999
I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the City of Bangor, Maine have been prepared in conformity with generally '
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
reporting principles. The more sigmficant of the government's accounting policies are described below.
1. Reporting Entity
The City of Bangor, Maine is govemed by a nine member elected Council and an appointed Manager. In
evaluating how to define the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes, management has to consider all
potential component units. The decision as to which potential component units were to be included was made
by applying the criteria set forth in GAAP. The critena defines the reporting entity as the primary
government and those component units for which the primary govemment is financially accountable.
Financial accountability is defined as appointment of a voting majority of the component unit's board and
either (a) the ability of the primary government to impose its will, or (b) the possibility that the component
unit will provide a financial benefit to, or impose a financial burden on, the primary government.
Based upon all pertinent facts derived from the analysis of the above criteria, it was determined that no
additional entities should be included as part of these financial statements.
2. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. A fund
is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds
according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with
finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minunum number of funds are maintained consistent
with legal and managerial requirements.
Account groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds
not recorded directly in those funds.
Funds are classified into three categories: govemmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Each category, in tum,
is divided into separate "fund types".
Governmental Funds Types
Governmental Funds are used to account for most governmental functions of the City. Govemmental fund
types use the flow of cunent fmancial fesources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting revenues are recognized when susceptible to
accrual (i.e. when they are "measurable and available"). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction
can be determined and "available" means the amounts are collectible within the cunent period
or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related
fund liabiliry is incuned, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized
when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized when the
obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable ava�lable financial resources.

2. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Governmental funds include the following types: ,
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to
account for all fmancial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used for revenue sources (not including expendable
trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditure for
specific purposes.
Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the acquisition of fixed assets
or construction of major capital projects not fmanced by proprietary or
nonexpendable trust funds.
Proprietary �und Types
Proprietary funds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the
accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded at the time liabilities are incuned.
The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 20 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds
and Other Govemmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting", whereby the City has elected to
apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Boazd (FASB)
pronouncements issued before November 30, 1989, unless the FASB pronouncements conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements.
Proprietary funds include the following type:
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for those operations that are fmanced and
operated in a manner similar to a private business or where the City Council
has decided that the determination of revenues earned, costs incuned and/or net
income is necessary for management accountability.
�iduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as agent on behalf of others.
Trust funds account for assets held under the terms of a formal trust agreement.
Fiduciary funds include the following types:
Nonexpendable Trust - Nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for in essentially the same manner as
Funds proprietary funds, using the same measurement focus and basis of accounting.
Nonexpendable trust funds account for assets, the principal of which may not
, be spent.
Expendable Trust Funds - Expendable trust funds are accounted for in essentially the same manner as
governmental fund types, using the same measurement focus and basis of
accounting. Expendable trust funds account for assets where both the principal
and interest may be spent.

2. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Agency Fund - The agency fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations
or have a measurement focus. The agency fund is accounted for using the
modified accnial basis of accounting. This fund is used to account for assets
that the City holds for others in an agency capacity.
Account Groups
Account groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for certain long-term assets and
liabilities of governmental fund types and nonexpendable trust funds. The account groups do not present
results of operations or have a measurement focus.
Account groups include the following types:
General Fized Assets - The general fixed assets account group is used to account for fixed assets not
Account Group accounted for in proprietary funds.
General Long-Term - The general long-term debt account group is used to account for general
Debt Account Group long-term debt and certain other liabilities that aze not specific liabilities of
proprietary funds.
3. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Assets
Cash and Investments - The City's cash and equity in pooled cash and investments include cash on
hand, demand deposits, ovemight insured instruments and other liquid
investments. State statute and policy define the types of investments that may
be made. Among these are U.S. Treasury and Agency notes and bonds.
Expressly prohibited under City policy is the investment in so-called
"derivative" instruments.
Interfund Receivables - Transactions between funds that represent lending/borrowing arrangements
and Payables outstanding at the end of the fiscal yeaz are reported as "due to/from other
funds." Where there is no expectation that such balances will be repaid in the
forseeable future, these are offset by a reserved fund balance account in the
City's General Fund to indicate they are not available for appropriation and are
not expendable available fmancial resources.
Inventories and Prepaid - �e City accounts for inventory under the consumption method. Inventories in
Items the general fund and proprietary funds consist of expendable supplies held for
consumption and are camed at cost. Inventory items are recognized as
expenditures, employing the average cost method, when consumed. The
consumption method does not requue a reserve for inventory and the City has

3. Assets, Liabilities and Equity (Continued)
Fixed Assets - Fixed assets used in governmental fu.nd types of the City are recorded in the
general fixed asset account group at cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Assets m the general fixed asset account group are
not depreciated. Interest incuned during construction is not capitalized on
general fixed assets.
Public domain general fixed assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and other
assets that are unmovable and of value only to the City) are not capitalized.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend the asset's life are not included in the general fixed
assets account group or capitalized in the proprietary funds.
Property, plant and equipment in the proprietary funds of the City are recorded
at cost. Properry, plant and equipment donated to these proprietary fund type
operations are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.
Major oudays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized in proprietary
funds as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction
phase of proprietary fund fixed assets is reflected in the capitalized value of the
asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same
period.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated in the proprietary funds of the
City using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 25 - 40 years
Equipment 5 - 20 years
Pipelines and mains 100 years
Aircraft operational assets
Runways 40 years
Buildings 20 years
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 years
Investment Held by - This investment consists of City bond proceeds and matching federal and state

vacation, compensation and sick pay benefits. With minor exceptions
employees are entitled to full payment of unused vacation and compensation
pay upon termination. Sick pay is available only if retirement occurs
simultaneously with termination. Vacation, compensation and sick (if
applicable) pay is accrued when incurred in proprietary funds and reported as a
fund liability. Resources for vacation, compensation and sick (if applicable)
pay are provided for in the subsequent year in governmental fund rypes.

3. Assets, Liabilities and Equity (Continued)
Long-Term Obligations - The City reports the long-term indebtedness of governmental funds at face value
in the generallong-term debt account group. Certain other governmental fund
obligations not expected to be financed with cunent available fmancial resources
are also reported in the general long-term debt account group. Long-term debt
and other obligations fmanced by proprietary funds are reported as liabilities in
the appropriate funds.
For governmental fund types, bond premiums and discounts as well as issuance
costs are recognized durmg the current period. Issuance costs, even if withheld
from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as expenditures. For
proprietary fund types, bond premiums and discounts as well as issuance costs
may be defened and amortized over the life of the bonds. Issuance costs are
reported as deferred charges.
Fund Equity
Contributed Capital - The proprietary funds' contributed capital represents equity acquired through
capital grants and contributions from developers, customers, other parties or
other funds.
Reserves - Reservations of fund balance represent amounts that are not appropriable or are
legally segregated for a specific purpose.
Designations - Designations of fund balance represent tentative City plans that are subject to
change.
Memorandum Only - Total Columns
Total columns on the general purpose fmancial statements are captioned as "memorandum only" because
they do not represent consolidated financial information and are presented only to facilitate fmancial
analysis. The columns do not present information that reflects financial position, results of operations or
cash flows in accordance with GAAP. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this
data.
Comparative Data/Reclassification
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in selected sections of the accompanying
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the City's fmancial position and
operations. Also, certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be
consistent with the current year's presentation.
II. Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
1. Budgetary Information
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles with certain
exceptions. Budgets for the General Fund and Enterprise funds are formally adopted each year through the
passage of appropriation resolves. Other Special Revenue and Capital Pro�ects Funds have adopted
project-length budgets. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at fiscal year end, except as authonzed by City
Council.

1. Budgetary Information (Continued)
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the
expenditure of resources are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
utilized in governmental funds.
Encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not
constitute expenditures or liabilities because goods or services have not been received in the cunent
year. However, for budgetary purposes, encumbrances are treated as expenditures.
On or before the second Monday in April, the Ciry Manager submits to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The Council holds public meetings and a final budget
must be prepared and adopted no later than June 30. Should the Council fail to adopt an operating
budget on or before June 30, by Charter, the budget proposed by the City Manager becomes effective.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City Manager may make
transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers between departments or additional
appropriations require the approval of the City Council.
The City Council made several supplemental budgetary appropriations throughout the year, including
appropriating approximately $375,300 in transfers from various fund balance accounts in the general
fund for operating transfers to other funds and capital asset acquisition. Other supplemental budgetary
appropriations were not considered material.
2. Budget/GAAP Reconciliation

3. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
The following funds had departmental over-expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1999:,
General Fund - The following departments were over-expended by the indicated
dollar amounts; Council ($795), Finance ($9,198), Insurance
($4,669), Fire ($146,240), Parks and Recreation ($58,585) and
Public Services ($94,075). These over-expenditures were funded
by receipt of revenues in excess of appropriation and
under-expenditures within other General Fund departments.
Bass Park - The complex was overspent on a departmental basis by $18,087.
This deficit was not funded and resulted in an increase to the deficit
fund balance.
Parking - The fund was overspent on a departmental basis by $29,874. The
deficit was funded by receipt of revenues in excess of
appropriation.
4. Deficit Fund Equity
The following funds had a deficit fund balance as of June 30, 1999:
Community Development Block - The deficit of$283,056 will be funded in the subsequent year with
Grant - Special Revenue Fund increased collection of program income.
Park Woods - Enterprise Fund - The deficit of$58,814 continues to decrease due to a more
effective management of the housing development.
City Nursing Facility - Enterprise - The deficit of$1,094,666 is, typical of this facility, largely due to
Fund its management structure and the resulting inability to anticipate
and successfully adjust to an ever-changing industry. The City
Council has approved a plan which, among other things: adopts a
more suitable, private, not-for-profit structure. It is anticipated
that a General Fund operating subsidy will continue at least until
this restructuring is completed.
Bass Park- Enterprise Fund - This facility was studied by a committee of staff and community
members to determine how to improve operating results. The
recommendations were to market more aggressively and improve
the product quality. The City Council has demonstrated its support
by pledging more resources to the facility. In the interim, the
General Fund will continue to provide an annual operating subsidy
to stabilize the deficit of$1,273,062.

As of June 30, 1999, the amount of defeased debt outstanding but removed from the General Long-Term
Debt Account Group and Enterprise Funds is $3,163,900 and $6,541,100, respectively.
The Sewer Utility and Parking enterprise funds have recorded a deferred amount on refunding, which is
the difference between the reacquisition price (funds required to refund old debt) and the net carrying
value of the old debt. The deferred amount on refunding will be amortized over the remaining life of the
old debt.
Three series of the General Obligation notes aggregating $1,606,500 are held by the City's Airport Fund at
fixed, taxable market rates of interest These Notes are structured with a put feature which, upon certain
precedent conditions, allows the Airport to present them for redemption to the City's General Fund. It is
management's intention, should a put occur, to fund it by passing the Note along to its Sewer
Fund, where it will be converted to a three to five year fixed rate note with level debt service, albeit
without a put option.
The following sets forth the changes in liabilities reported in the general long term debt account group

1. Risk Management
The Ciry is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City currently reports
all of its risk management activities in its General and Enterprise Funds. Claims expenditures,
liabilities and reserves are reported when it is probable that a loss has occuned and the amount of the
loss can be reaonable estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred
but not reported. The City purchases coverage under a number of commercially available insurance
policies such as; commercial general liability, auto, property damage and crime and dishonesty, each
with limits and deductibles deemed prudent given the risks, cost of coverage and the City's ability to
fund certain types of losses. For those claims covered by commercial insurance, the amount of
settlements have not exceeded the coverage for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

1. Risk Management (Continued)
The City is self-insured for its workers' compensation liability. Reserves are actuarially determined each
year to assure funding adequacy. In addition, the City purchases excess workers' compensation insurance
to limit its financial risk.
At June 30, 1999, the amount of the self-insurance liabilities was $3,241,974. This liability is the City's
best estimate based on available information. Changes in the reported liability since July 1, 1997, resulted
from the following: _

4. Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
In September 1992, the City received a "Notice of Potential Responsibiliry" under Maine's
Uncontrolled Hazardous Substance Sites law. The notice involves the planned cleanup of several
hazardous waste disposal sites. The City may be liable because the sites were formerly operated by the
company the City used for the disposal of waste oil during the 1960s - 1980s. The Maine Department
of Environmental Protection's (DEP) preliminary estimate of cleanup costs at the primary site exceeds
$10,000,000. The City is listed as a "de minimus" contributor in the DEP's various notices. As such
it is estimated that the City's cost will ultimately range between $80,000 - $100,000.
In February 1998, the City was served with Notification of Potential Liability by the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with that Agency's efforts to clean up a disposal
site. The City is among approximately 500 potentially responsible parties. It is currently estunated that
the Ciry's cost will not exceed $150,000.
The City is subject to a wide variety of federal and state laws and regulations relating to land use, water
resources, sewage disposal, the use, storage, discharge, emission and disposal of wastes and other
environmental matters. The City believes that its properties and operations are presently in material
compliance with all land use and environmental laws. Failure to comply with such laws, however,
could result in severe penalties that could adversely affect the Ciry. The City is not aware of any
environmental conditions or non-compliance, the remediation or correction of which, the City believes,
would have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the City. The City is not subject to
any pending or threatened proceedings or actions involving environmental matters.
There are various other claims and suits pending against the City which arise in the normal course of
the City's activities. In the opinion of Ciry management, the ultimate disposition of these various
claims and suits will have no material effect on the financial position of the City.
5. Retirement
Introduction
The City of Bangor provides retirement pensions for its employees through a number of vehicles,
including a Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Defined Contribution Pension Plan and Social Security.
The Defined Benefit Pension Plan is administered through the Maine State Retirement System. The
Defined Contribution Pension Plans are section 401(a) and 457 Defened Compensation Plans
administered by ICMA/RC. Finally, those employees not eligible for coverage under either the
Defined Benefit or Defined Contribution Plans are provided fizll Social Security coverage.
A. Defned Beneft Pension Plans
Descri�tion o�the Plan
The City contributes to the Maine State Retirement System Consolidated Plan, a cost sharing
multiple-employer public employee retirement system established by the Maine State legislature. The
Maine State Retirement System provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living

and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Maine Statutes assign the authority to establish
and amend benefit provisions to the Maine State Retirement System Board of Trustees. The Maine
State Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements
and required supplementary information for the Consolidated Plan. That report may be obtained by
writing to Maine State Retirement System, 46 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0046 or by
calling 1-800-451-9800.
Fundin.�Polic�
Plan members are required to contribute 6.5% of their annual covered salary and the City of Bangor is
required to contribute an actuarially detemiined rate. The current rate ranges from 5.90% to 14.70%
of annual covered payroll. The contribution rates of plan members and the City of Bangor are
established and may be amended, based on the type of plan, by the Maine State Retirement System
Board of Trustees. The City's contributions to the Maine State Retirement System Consolidated Plan,
for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $1,580,742, $1,918,155 and $1,939,735,
respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year.
Unfunded Actuarial Liabili�
Upon joining the consolidated plan on July 1, 1997, the City's initial unfunded unpooled actuarial
liability (IUUAL) was calculated. The IUUAL represents the remaining amount of the pension liability
upon transitioning to the Consolidated Plan from a participating local district. The City's IULTAL at the
date of transition amounted to $30,570,400 and is bemg amortized over a period of 28 years. At June
30, 1999, the remaining balance was $30,751,234 and is being reported in the City's General '
Long-Term Debt Account Group in accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Govemment Employees. For the years
ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the City made payments towards its IUUAL of$1,995,036,
$1,882,104 and $1,902,000, respectively. .
Teacher Grou�
All school teachers, plus other qualified educators, participate in the Maine State Retirement System's
teacher group. The teacher's group is a cost-sharing plan with a special funding situation, established
by the Maine State legislature. The Maine State Retirement System provides retirement and disability
benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustment, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Maine
Statutes assign authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the Maine State Retirement System
Board of Trustees. The Maine State Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the Teacher's Group. That
report may be obtained by writing to Maine State Retirement System, 46 State House Station, Augusta,
Maine 04333-0046 or by calling 1-800-451-9800.

5. Retirement (Continued)
Fundin�Pol�
Plan members are required to contribute 7.65% of their compensation to the retirement system. The
State of Maine Department of Education is required, by the same statute, to contribute the employer
contribution which amounts to $3,491,790 (20%) for the fiscal year 1999. This amount has been
reported as intergovernmental revenue and education expenditure in the GAAP basis financial
statements (Exhibit 2). There is no contribution required by the School except for federally funded
teachers, for which the school contributed 20% of their compensation. This cost is charged to the
applicable grant.
Flistorical Trend In�ormation
Historical trend information for the Consolidated Plan is not relevant, as the year ended June 30, 1995
was the first year of the Consolidated Plan and Participating Local Districts did not enter the Plan until
1996. Therefore, the data is not comparable. If available, this information would be useful in
assessing the pension plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become
due.
B. Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The City of Bangor provides pension benefits for certain of its full-time employees through both 401(a)
and 457 Deferred Compensation Plans (both of which are defined contribution plans (DCPs))
administered by ICMA/RC. In a DCP, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus
investment earnings. Participation for fixed-term contract employees is provided in lieu of the defined
benefit plan through the Maine State Retirement System. Covered employees are eligible to participate
and are fully vested from the date of employment. The City contributes at various rates depending
upon employment contracts. The contribution rates vary from 10.0% - 15.0% of annual earnings. The
covered payroll in fiscal year 1999 was approximately $483,764 and City contributions totaled
approximately $53,882.
In addition, all City employees may participate in the 457 plan and defer a portion of their salary until
future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement,
death or unforeseeable emergency.
C._Social_Secu�t�
The City of Bangor does not have a section 218 agreement to provide full social security coverage to
it's employees. The City provides full social security coverage to part-time, seasonal and temporary
employees under the Ommbus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, and IRS regulations which became
effective July 1, 1991.
6. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs
Federal regulations (Subtitle 'D') stipulate that landfills which have not accepted MSW (Municipal Solid
Waste) in recent years are exempt from specific postclosure care and monitoring requirements,
provided that such landfills are closed prior to October 8, 1994, and in accordance with applicable State
regulations, subject to certain construction requirements.
II - 36
Ciry of Bangor, Maine
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999
6. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs (Continued)
In June 1994, the Maine State Legislature approved new State landfill closure regulations drafted by the
Maine Department of Environmental Protection. These regulations included a "Reduced Closure
Option" provision which allowed qualifying low risk landfills to be closed prior to October 8, 1994 if
federal construction standards were met, with no further requirements for specific postclosure
monitoring and maintenance programs.
The City of Bangor's Kittredge Road Landfill qualified for the "Reduced Closure Option" and is in full
compliance with its provisions.
The estimated liability for landfill closure and postclosure care costs is $177,336 as of June 30, 1999,
which is based on 100% usage of the landfill. The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure
and postclosure care is based on the amount that would be paid if services required to close, monitor
and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 1999. The actual cost of closure and postclosure
should not change significantly from the amount estimated:
At June 30, 1999 $177,336 of the closure and postclosure care costs had been funded by the issuance of
general obligation bonds, reimbursement from the State of Maine and the interest earnings thereon.
7. Subsequent Events
In December 1996, the City authorized the issuance of up to $5,000,000 in general obligation bonds,
the proceeds of which are to be used as a 45% match to a grant awarded by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The gross proceeds of the grant and debt will be used to continue the City's
compliance with an EPA consent decree governing combined sewer overflow. The City expects to
issue $1,120,000 of the remaining authorized amount within the next fiscal year. To date $2,818,300
has not been issued.
In September 1998, the City authorized the issuance of up to $2,000,000 in general obligation bonds.
Proceeds will be used to finance improvements and rehabilitation of the lower three floors of the former
Freese's building to enable additional residential development to take place on the top three floors.
In August 1999, the City authorized issuance of up to $1,332,000 in general obligation bonds. The
proceeds will be used to fund various projects such as; acquisition of motor pool vehicles,
improvements to Sawyer Arena, a Bass Park facility assessment and improvements as well as other
building and infrastructure improvements.
8. Restatement of Retained Earnings
The Airport Fund's contributed capital and reserved retained earnings for June 30, 1998 were restated
to reflect the reclassification of passenger facility charges. The effect of this change was to increase the
Airport Fund and overall Enterprise Funds contributed capital by $1,601,273 with a corresponding
decrease in reserved retained earnings.

Enterprise Funds

private business enterprises. The intent of the government is to have the costs of providing goods or
services to the general public financed or recovered primarily through �ser charges. The government has
decided that periodic determination of net income is appropriate for accountability purposes.

City of Bangor, Maine
Required Supplementary Information(LJnaudited)
June 30, 1999
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 ("Y2K") problem is universal and involves the ability of computer hardware,
software and other electronic equipment to distinguish between dates of the twentieth and twenty
first centuries.
The potential threat posed to the City is that its operations could be impaired andlor disrupted if
accurate financial and other date-related information is not available in machine-readable form, or
that systems may stop processing data altogether.
Over the previous year and more, and in accordance with GASB Technical Bulletin No. 98-1,
"Disclosures about Year 2000 Issues" the City's Information Services staff has identified and
inventoried all hardware, software, and other Y2K/computer-related activity in each of the City's
departments and divisions. Critical hardware, software and peripherals that were found to be not
Y2K compliant were replaced and/or upgraded so as to meet the challenges posed by the millennium
change.
Additionally, all mission-critical hardware,programs and applications provided by outside vendors
(ie. the various financial, assessing, billing, public safety and other programs integral to the City's
proper functioning) were upgraded where necessary.
Accordingly,management is of the opinion that virtually all the City's mission-critical and mission-
important computer systems are presently Y2K compliant.
,
The City has also received assurances, from virtually all parties with which it transacts date-
dependent business,that their systems and capabilities are Y2K compliant as well. While there is
no apparent reason to doubt these representations,management expresses no opinion as to the Y2K
readiness of these parties.

* T'he presentation of these amounts has been changed from previous years. Prior to 1998,cunent
collections had included abatements granted during the year. Beginning with fiscal 1998's
presentation,abatements have been subtracted from the gross levy to yield a net levy. Thus,
only amounts actually collected during the year are considered current collections. To derive
the Percent ofNet Levy Collected,amounts collected on a current basis during the year are divided
by the Net Tax Levy. The effect of this change is to reduce slightly the Percent of Net Levy Collected
in fiscal 1998 and 1999 from 95.61%and 95.76%,respectively.
** Amounts can be found in Schedule G-1.
